50 beans | the canister


Hario's done it again: a new manual coffee mill. I came across this today on amazon while searching for a v60 pour-over dripper. The Hario coffee mill Canister C features the same recognizable Hario mill on the top (ceramic burr) mounted over a classic flip-lid glass container for storage. While the internal guts are probably the same as the lower-priced and more modern looking Hario Skerton (the mill I have), this mill does come with a decidedly classier look. While I haven't tried the Canister C, I'm almost sure that in addition to the amped up aesthetics, this is sure to feature some cool under-appreciated features like the skerton has, including being compatible with existing easy to find containers (the skerton is compatible with pint-sized mason jars). While the Canister C is priced considerable higher than the Skerton (considering the functionality is the same), the enhanced look does make it more appealing for some people who care about how their mill looks.
